“We could be heroooooeeees!” 

Sasuke closed his eyes.

“Me and yooooouuuuu!” 

He took a deep breath, and sighed. 

“Weee could beeeeeeee!” The beat dropped, and Sakura started dancing wildly as she held on to the microphone. Naruto jumped from his seat and started dancing with her. It wasn’t long until Ino joined as well. 

Sasuke pinched the bridge of his nose. He really didn’t want to be here, in a small Kareoke room, crammed with all of their friends. But he was still sitting on the couch, as he had been for more than four hours for two reasons: Naruto dragged him here, and Sakura was here. 

He eyed the empty shot glasses on the table and then slowly shifted his gaze back to Sakura. Her cheeks were flushed, she had a wide grin on her face, and she kept singing horribly off key. No one cared, though. They were all too drunk to notice. All except Sasuke. 

In his sober state, he was able to see Sakura in a new state of rawness. She had always been carefree, and fun loving, but this was a different level. She was wild. Although he thought that he wouldn’t like it, he found it strangely endearing that she could easily toss her worries and inhibitions away. The corner of Sasuke’s lips tugged upwards and he took a sip of his beer. He would let her have fun tonight. She deserved a break, and to unwind. He would be there to take her home and take care of her in the morning, anyway. What were husbands for, right? 

---

For the most part going home, Sakura didn’t put up a fight, or caused any fuss. She would softly mumble and sing, half-asleep, all drunk. He smirked when she started saying sweet yet incoherent things to him. Finally, they reached their home. It was a small flat, being a newly married couple, they didn’t need much space. Times like tonight, he was thankful everything was so near each other. 

Carefully, Sasuke placed her down on the bed. When Sakura shifted and made a move to make herself comfortable, Sasuke stood up and turned to leave to take a shower. However, he stopped in his tracks when he heard her speak. 

“Sasuke-kun?” 

“Aa.” He glided back towards the bed and knelt by the bed to hear her properly. 

“Do you think…” Her eyes were closed, and her lips kept moving, but little to no sound was coming out. “Do… you…” 

He inched his face closer to hers to hear her better. 

“Do you think I can be… a hero?” 

Sasuke smirked and brushed her pink locks out her face. “You’re already a hero, Sakura.” 

A soft smile graced her lips and she opened her eyes before whispering, “You’re a hero, too.” 

He opened his mouth to retort, but she stopped him by whining, “No arguiiiing! I’m tiiiired and sleepyyyyy! Get in heeeereeee.”

Sasuke sighed and a low chuckle escaped his throat. “I have such a demanding wife.” He took his shirt and pants off before climbing into bed. Sakura eagerly gravitated towards him and rested her head on his chest. He wrapped his arm around her and pulled her close to him. 

If only she knew how much of a hero he saw her to be. 

If only he knew how much of a hero she saw him to be. 

Perhaps they could discuss that in the morning but for now, sleep.

SSM 2018 Day 1: Heroes

.

Sakura’s running low on energy. She’s spent
majority of the night on making the antidote for a poisoned chunin team, a not
difficult but time-consuming task. She slept barely three hours and she’s
already cutting it close for a morning meeting with the Hokage. Sakura brushes
her teeth in a hurry as she dresses, then runs out of her apartment without
breakfast.

She arrives at the Hokage tower with a few
minutes to spare. To her delight, Sasuke is there too, and… in his hand, is
that…?

“For me?” she asks hopefully, pointing to
the object and he nods.

Sasuke wordlessly gives her a ham sandwich
with cucumber and Sakura scarfs it down quickly.

Her green eyes light up when when he holds
out to her a steaming paper cup with coffee to wash down the food. Sakura moans
at the aroma of her favourite blend of coffee beans, cream and sugar, prepared
in just the way she likes. “Sasuke-kun, you’re my hero!” she exclaims. She chugs
the concoction down and immediately feels the strength return to her tired
limbs.

Sakura licks her lips and beams at Sasuke.
“Thanks, I really needed that,” she says. She spots a trash bin in the corner
and hurriedly disposes of the empty sandwich wrapping and the paper cup. A
thought comes to her. “Wait, how did you know I didn’t have breakfast?”

Sasuke shrugs nonchalantly. “Just a hunch.”

Before she can bug him for a clearer answer,
they’re called into the Hokage’s office.

Sasuke is saved this time from revealing his
ways. It wouldn’t do for his cool reputation to admit that he saw her stagger
down the street at an ungodly hour just before the dawn (his usual time for
morning practice) and secretly followed her to make sure she got home safe. His
lips twist in a frown. Sakura should take a better care of herself. She’s been
a mess since she moved out of her parents’ house.

He’d have to do something about it.

.

Sasuke is supposed to have more of a
downtime but the urgent request for help from the border village comes just two
days after his return from the last job. He has no time except to gather his
weapons and say goodbye to his wife. Too bad he can’t find his favourite black
cloak, it was all ripped up and he meant to fix it in his free time, but it would
have done for one more mission…

“Sasuke-kun, wait!” Sakura stops him at the
doorstep and he turns impatiently. She runs to the laundry room and comes back
triumphantly holding up his cloak. “Here, I stitched it up and washed it for
you.” She helps him put it on, then fiddles with his collar. “Looks good. Be
careful out there and kick some butt, okay?” She smiles and winks at him.

“Sure,” he replies, still in awe that
between working in her clinic, teaching the medic course and keeping up with
her ninja training Sakura found the time in her busy schedule to repair his
cloak for him. His wife is truly incredible. What he would even do without her?
On the impulse, Sasuke leans in and brushes his lips softly against hers.
“Thank you,” he says, smirking at the light pink tint on her cheeks. It’s so
easy to make her blush…

Sasuke leaves for his mission in high
spirits, wearing a cloak that looks like new. He’s already planning to take
Sakura out for a nice dinner after he comes back.

It may seem trivial in a world of
indomitable powers and epic conflicts, but in the everyday life Sasuke and
Sakura are each other’s heroes.

AN: Happy SasuSaku Month!

In Her Eyes

SasuSaku Month 2018

Day 1: Heroes

***

Author’s Note: Ugh barely made it~ I’m baaaack for SasuSaku Month 2018! I had a lot of fun writing the prompts last year, and decided might as well enter this year, since it’s my last month of freedom before I enter medical school. I finally got that scholarship I applied for and I have to study even harder than my undergrad years. With that, I can’t fangirl as freely as I like~ 😭

***

Onyx eyes observed two figures huddled together in the kitchen.

“Mama, papa, what are you two doing?”

Immediately two heads looked up from the book they were reading to look at their daughter. Sakura smiled and motioned for Sarada to come closer to them.

“Would you like to help, Sarada? We’re deciding what to cook for dinner tonight, something new from the cookbook that papa bought,” the medic answered. The young Uchiha eyed it, noting it was the same one her papa presented to them when he came home last night from his travels.

“There’s this sweet meat dish that we tried in our travels at Kumo which is really good,” Sakura continued. “And also this rice dish we also had at Suna.”

“That was really delicious,” Sasuke commented. His wife nodded in agreement.

“So what’s the final verdict, anata? Sarada?”

Their daughter smiled and pointed at the picture of Suna’s cuisine. “I vote for this one!” Husband and wife shared one quick look and Sakura handed out aprons for the three of them.

“Yosh! Let’s start making it then!”

Sasuke proceeded to take out the necessary pots and pans, while Sakura went to the refrigerator to get the ingredients. While cutting the onions, the only pink-haired shinobi of the family shared her day at the hospital, noting an increase of patients with the flu.

“I just hope it won’t be an outbreak. Which reminds me, you two need to have your flu shots as soon as possible. Maybe tomorrow?” she gave her husband and daughter a questioning look, to which the two gave a simultaneous, “Hai.”

The smell of fresh herbs filled the room and Sarada inhaled deeply. “It smells really good, mama!” She went towards her mother’s left side as her papa took the other. The genin took it upon herself to read the instructions on what to put in the pan next as the man of the house handed it to his wife.

As the last ingredient was placed, Sakura covered the pan and set the stove to low fire. She took a small piece of the dish and placed it on a small plate for the three of them to judge.

“Uwaah, it’s delicious!” Sarada and Sakura exclaimed and the mother and daughter looked too much alike, Sasuke mused. He himself allowed a small smile in agreement.

“And now we wait for five minutes. Sarada dear, can you please set the table?”

“Hai, mama,” she replied as she took three plates.

“I’ll make tea,” Sasuke offered, and was rewarded with a bright smile from his wife. “Arigatou, anata,” she replied as she helped him remove his apron.

Time passed by quickly and the three sat at the dining table, Sasuke and Sakura at one side with their daughter facing them. Sarada told them about her day, training with her team and meeting up with their friends for lunch.

“Chouchou then dragged me to her house to watch a movie. It was funny, and it was about a duo of drop-outs who saved their country and became heroes.”

“Did they train hard?” Her father asked, and Sarada immediately shook her head.

“Not at all. They found this strange rock from the sky and when they touched it, they got their powers.”

“Ah! The title is ‘Rockman and Waterman’ right?” Sakura asked. Her daughter nodded and swallowed her food before answering. “Did you watch it already, mama?”

A giggled escaped from her as her husband had a questioning face. She knew the gears in her head were working and trying to find it in his memory, and after one pointed look from her, Sasuke remembered.

“That weird movie?”

Sakura nodded. “That weird movie.”

Sasuke sighed and Sakura couldn’t help but laugh at his exasperation. Sarada tilted her head to the side in question. Understanding her gesture, Sakura explained it to her.

“During our travels, your papa and I helped an orphanage once. The kids liked that movie and idolized the two actors so much they wanted your papa to dress up like Rockman.”

An image of her papa in that hero’s weird costume flashed in her mind and it was too funny for her to take. She tried to stop a fit of laughter and failed horribly. The tips of Sasuke’s ears started to turn red and it didn’t help that his wife joined their daughter’s glee.

“It’s not funny,” he grumbled. He noticed a stray grain of rice on Sakura’s cheek and removed it with his thumb. She held his hand in place on her face and leaned on it.

After a few minutes, the laughter of the two most important people in his life started to die down. They resumed eating, and after filling their stomachs with the dish that they all helped to create, Sasuke grabbed the tea he prepared while Sakura took out the dango she bought before coming home.

“Rockman and Waterman are great and all that but I still think that mama and papa are really better than those heroes,” Sarada proclaimed.

Sasuke handed a cup of tea to her. “Why is that?”

“Because mama and papa don’t wear undies outside your pants,” their little girl announced proudly, a wide smile on her face. Jade and obsidian shared one quick look before laughter was shared between the happy family of three. Bright onyx eyes looked at her parents, a feeling of contentment and happiness filling her heart. She will forever treasure the little moments like this with the three of them complete, may it be training or doing mundane, domestic things like cooking dinner.

She listened to her papa voicing out his lack of knowledge about the new trend of movies, and her mama teased him that they’ll spend an entire day or two just watching it for him to understand. And since they’re all free tomorrow, they sealed the deal.

And as she laid down to sleep that night, Sarada closed her eyes with a smile. She’s excited to spend an entire day with her parents just watching movies of heroes and their superpowers. Though of course, no fictional superhero can match them.

To the world, Uchiha Sasuke and Sakura are two feared, legendary heroes of the shinobi world.

To Uchiha Sarada, they would always be her papa and mama.
